Arizona Law Protects Deployed Members

Week of July 20, 2009

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer recently signed a bill into law that allows active-duty personnel deployed out of state to cancel health spa memberships at any point during the contract term. The Arizona State Department of Veterans' Services will also be allowed to issue a new award, the Arizona Gold Star Military Medal, for servicemen and women killed in action since Sept. 11, 2001. A third bill signed into law allows war veterans who don't have high school diplomas to get one from the state. For more information, visit the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services website.
